NBA - ESPN Eastern Conference Predictions - 2016-2017

Looks about right. I wouldn't have Miami so low though.

4-10 is a toss up. Nobody saw Washington being as bad as they were last season. Same with Milwaukee. Milwaukee could just as easily end up as 6 seed as they can a 10 seed.

I picked Indianna to finish second mostly because everybody will pick Boston

I truly do believe though Myles Turner and PG13 with the other additions to the team can make some noise. I'm not sure how they'll hold up defensively. Detroit has potential. They showed against Cleveland that they're a scrappy team ready for the spotlight. They played Cleveland really close considering they were an 8 seed. I think most on here had Cleveland rolling Detroit over by 20 every game.

I'm a big fan of Atlanta but not really sure where to put them. They could be a 2. The only safe picks are Cleveland at the 1 and Boston to finish in the top 3. What a mess.

1. Cleveland
2. Toronto
3. Boston
4. Indiana
5. Milwaukee
6. Chicago
7. Washington
8. New York

9. Detroit
10. Atlanta
11. Miami
12. Charlotte
13. Orlando
14. Philly
15. BRooklyn

This is harder to gauge than the West...and I'm shocked at the Bucks at 11.

Miami (no Bosh)

I may not like Indiana that much but that was almost exactly what I posted on a thread a month ago. Think Orlando will be better than Miami unless bosh is playing.
